Watcher
Killed by watcher? Here you can find the things NOT to do if you want to connect to Chat4All
What is Watcher?
We've installed a security system ("Watcher") to combat virus and drone connections. It works by awarding points for things in your details that look like a virus drone's nick, ident and fullname fields. This page is to help people who have been mistakenly killed as a virus drone get onto Chat4All with the minimum of hassle. To be killed by the service, your score must be above 7. Anything else, and the score will just be logged and you will be allowed to go on your way.
Points
To avoid being killed in the future here is a list of scoring systems used by the script so that you may adjust your details to get onto the network.
Negative Points
You get awarded for these connection details:
- Nick contains a known dictionary word or human name
- -3 points per word
- When symbols are removed, nick contains a dictionary word or human name
- -3 points per word
- Ident contains a known dictionary word or human name
- -3 points per word
- When symbols are removed, Ident contains a dictionary word or human name
- -3 points per word
- Full name contains a known dictionary word or human name
- -3 points per word
- When symbols are removed, fullname contains a dictionary word or human name
- -3 points per word
- Nick starts or ends with an alliance tag
- -3 points
- Nick is the same as ident
- -3 points
- Nick is the same as fullname
- -3 points
- Fullname is the same as ident
- -3 points
- Ident contains numbers
- -3 points per number
- Fullname contains numbers
- -3 points per number
- Fullname has symbols, e.g. $, !, ?.
- -3 points per symbol
- Ident contains a full stop ( . ), hyphen ( - ) or underscore ( _ )
- -2 points per symbol
- Fullname contains spaces
- -1 point per space
- Fullname has colour codes
- -1 point per colour code
- Nick contains numbers
- -1 point per number
Negative scores are good, so try to get as many of these above points.
Positive Points
You get fined with positive points for these connection details:
- Fullname ends with .com, .net, or .org
- + 5 points
- Fullname starts with "sympatico.", "hotmail.", or "microsoft."
- + 4 points
- Nick is only one character in length
- + 1 point
- Nick is under 6 characters in length
- + 1 point
- Nick is under 3 characters in length
- + 1 point
- Ident is over 9 characters in length
- + 1 point
- Fullname is under 13 characters
- + 1 point
- Nick contains
- { (left curly brace)
- } (right curly brace)
- | (pipe)
- ` (backtick)
- ^ (caret)
- ] (right square bracket)
- [ (left square bracket)
- \ (backslash)
- + 1 point per symbol
- Nickname is over 50% symbols shown in previous rule
- + 1 point
- Fullname is all letters with no spaces or symbols
- + 1 point
- Ident is all letters, no symbols.
- + 1 point
- Nickname contains NO numbers
- + 1 point
A reminder again that HIGH scores are BAD. So try to avoid any of these points...
